Lekue Poached Egg Cooker

This set uses a bain-marie style approach, which provides more control than dropping an egg directly into water. The stainless-steel cup ensures the egg cooks evenly through direct heat, while the built-in strainer removes excess egg white, preventing the wispy, messy strands often found with traditional poaching.

These are designed specifically for stovetop use in a pot of simmering water. They are not intended for microwave cooking.

The platinum silicone lid features a safe-grip handle that stays cool enough to touch, allowing you to lift the cup out of the water easily. Once removed, the egg should slide out smoothly, especially if you lightly grease the stainless-steel cup before adding the egg.

Not at all. The entire set is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. If you prefer to hand wash, the smooth stainless-steel surface is easy to wipe down.

The set includes two poachers, meaning you can cook two eggs simultaneously. If you are cooking for a larger group, you can use multiple sets in a larger pot, provided there is enough space for them to float freely.
